Finals season is rough. At a time of year where Christmas trees are put up, holiday cheer is in full swing, and snow begins to start, college students are suffering through hours of catch-up instead of enjoying this time with their families. As sad as it may be, it is the harsh reality of life. Here are some things you, a stressed college student, can do to get in the holiday spirit.

1. Listen to Christmas/holiday music

Even if you're not a die-hard Christmas/holiday music fan, listening to one day will help get you in the spirit of the holidays.

2. Take a break from studying and watch your favorite holiday movie

My personal favorite is "Elf."

3. Start gift-shopping for your family

Giphy

No better way to spread the holiday cheer than making your family happy!

4. Put up some decorations in your room

Giphy

Even a 2-foot tall tree will help get you ready for the holidays.

5. Sing loud for all to hear

Happy almost holidays (a.k.a final season is almost over)!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
